They really want to get into kids’ pants.
Can’t have your sexually abused kids go to the doctor and tell on you.
Cuz they’re pedophiles and rapists
This is the purpose of patient-doctor privilege, since it is beneficial to the community that people come to be treated (say for STIs even if they were transmitted during unlawful action, say, sex with underaged persons) It’s the doc’s job to treat patients regardless of parental consent.
MAGATs hate their children.
In what scenario would a parent going “do not treat my teens STI in defiance of the treatment they are actively seeking” not be abuse and neglect.
The point isn’t the consent, it’s the tattling.
Some parents might not want the doctor asking questions about where exactly the STD came from, if you know what I mean.
That definitely falls under abuse.
Yup. I remember my professor saying that if a 12 year-old comes positive for giardiasis, it’s from sexual assault.
No, you’re missing the point. Right now, teens can get tested with discretion and without notifying the parents or the tests being added to a medical file. This is so that teens don’t feel too scared of getting in trouble if they get tested, so they don’t and thus increase the risk of an outbreak, a far worse outcome than the fact that Chad and Tina did the hanky panky before marriage. This individual wants parents to be notified if their children are sexually active, bringing us back to square one.
Why is Florida so pro spread of disease‽
Is the consent needed to fix a broken arm? Inform them of the treatment, sure; consent weird.
So, basically, she wants parents to have the right to let their children suffer and possibly die. What a lovely human being.
…
I was going to quote individual parts to complain about, but there are just too many. It goes deeper than medical treatment. Read the article if you haven’t already.
Welcome back to yet another episode of “The GOP Getting Weird About Other Peoples’ Genitalia”
Specifically children.
That’s the problem with these people. They’re always worried about other people’s shit. Just completely incapable of minding their own business.
Fuck these people. That’s some straight up bullshit right there.
Parental Consent
Kids are the new Property.
New? Always have been.
You will cure the chlamydia I worked hard to give my daughter over my cold dead body! 😡
Just like God intended
